Chapter 401: Chapter 401: My Noah Chapter 401 – My Noah The size of Laeh had now been increased, and with that many implications came with this evolution. And all of these needed time for the people of Laeh to get used to it. Each one of them began to look for their own houses. Some of them were lucky enough to find them unscathed, while others found only shattered rocks and debris. Also, the increased power and mana of Laeh meant that the limit of power was no longer SSS rank, and one could even go as far as Supreme rank or even Mystic rank if one was special enough. And the emergence of new territories appearing all over came naturally with people who wanted to be the rulers of these territories with the fancy goal of carving their names into the Records of Laeh, to earn them a glance from their Deity. All of that, Noah believed in his wives to take care of. In any case, he was not going to limit anyone, for they had the freedom to pursue their dreams in the same way he did, as long as their actions did not compromise Laeh herself. Or maybe that was just him being lazy, and his mind completely entranced by the woman in front of him, who made him weirdly feel like a young man in puberty once more. Providence was mesmerizing, Noah praised. It was not the kind of stunning beauty women naturally possessed. No, this one was different. He stared at her, admiring her openly. Providence’s skin was very pale, looking as if the very concept of blood had fled her. Added to that, multiple black tattoos were swirling all over her naked body, with the tattoo describing the face of Noah stitched beautifully over where her heart should be. Her hair was silver like one of the Vaelgrim, reaching the middle of her back. Her eyes were deep purple, so pure and bright that the spot her gaze rested on seemed to glow in that same enchanted violet. Her irises were shaped like a glowing circular ring of purple light. Her pupils one of black void. Her eyes were like the whole cosmos was trapped inside. Heavy, and humbling. She stood at 7ft tall, her body curvy and having the perfect right amount of breast and a round ass worthy of someone who had done Bulgarian squats for billions of years. Not too much, not too little. The perfect balance. She smirked seeing Noah’s state, inwardly happy that she had taken all those years and time to ponder how she should look. And now that she knew her Noah liked it, Providence became even more confident and started to stride slowly toward Noah, her body swaying, her feet not touching the floor. Instead, purple threads began to appear beneath every step of hers. She would have remained naked for her Noah if there were not her three new children beside watching. So, reluctantly, her body was covered by a long golden T-shirt. Noah raised an eyebrow at the sight of the T-shirt, for it was one he had searched for so long and never found. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞 He liked it. After all, it was made by himself from the golden leaves of Aurelia’s Tree. So it was Providence who stole it. At the side, the three Origins began whispering, "Who is she? She... she is powerful!" Fated whispered, feeling inside Providence all of their power combined perfectly into something supposed to be impossible. "Mother?" Destiny guessed, tilting her head cutely, then seeing the face and reaction of her new father, she nodded in confirmation, "Beautiful mother. Sweet mother!" "Oh!! Caus’s mother?!" Caus was weirdly too happy. "Why are you so silent?" Providence finally said, as she arrived an inch from Noah, smiling with her insufferably white teeth. Noah’s lips curled up at her words, "Ah well, don’t you know, darling?" he said, closing the remaining distance in a heartbeat and wrapping his hands around her body. Providence shivered. "There are times in life where words lose all the meaning and weight we would love to give them." He whispered, making Providence unable to control the rising burst of emotion she managed to hide behind her confident self till now. "And one of those times is unfolding at this moment, darling." Noah continued, then clicked his fingers to blind the eyes of his new children. He stared at the mesmerizing cosmos-like eyes of Providence, seeing how they were shimmering and trembling, as if trying to hold back tears. They failed. Her eyes hazed. His smile deepened as he slowly put her forehead to his, "Finally, darling, I get to see the one behind my rise." "And finally I can now thank you properly, face to face." "There is no need!" Providence answered back, her face blushing softly despite her confident smile, "You are my Noah. You are all I have and all I ever know and will ever know." "You said that without me you wouldn’t stand here," she continued, then raised her hands and placed them at both sides of Noah’s cheeks, "but without you, my Noah, my existence would have no meaning." Her eyes were deeply serious. At her words, Noah fell silent for a moment, then chuckled, "Trying to be romantic now?" "I have learned from the best." She countered with a smirk of her own. They stared at each other for a few seconds before they burst into laughter, then hugged each other, each one of them feeling the body of the other deeply. Providence couldn’t stop sniffing her Noah’s scent, touching his whole body as if trying to engrave it inside her brain. She went as far as licking his face, wondering how it would taste. Noah, the ever gentleman, let her do whatever she wished, while he enjoyed her warmth. They stayed there for a very, very long time, without moving, as if time was meaningless to them. Which was true. After all, Providence had made the whole time of Laeh freeze only for this moment. She needed it. So unhurriedly they broke their hug, and crouched down on the ground, which was now transformed into a grassy field of purple flowers. Favorite color of Providence. Noah wondered why purple. Providence sat on the ground while Noah placed his head on her lap. She began to caress his silver hair softly and lovingly, a smile on both of their faces, the whole world drowned in a peaceful silence. They did not say any kind of love words, for their actions spoke louder than any imaginable words at that moment. Instead, they began to discuss idly, talking about Noah’s journey, commenting on his recent actions, with Providence scolding him for adopting children just because he found them cute, calling him reckless. Noah only smiled wryly. Their small talk continued until Providence lowered her head forward toward Noah’s face, and lovingly kissed his lips. The kiss lingered only for 1–2 seconds, before she parted her lips away, her face still hovering an inch from his, with her silver hair falling down on her in that state. She licked her lips sensually, feeling the warmth of Noah on her lips, then smirked, "As expected, tasty." She said, then, "Don’t you have a power system to complete, my Noah?" "I do," Noah answered, "though I would have forgotten it if you didn’t remind me." Providence laughed lightly. "We have all the time, my Noah. But right now you need to get up and finish your task. Then you will introduce me to my dear sisters!" Her voice was enthusiastic at the end, showing her eagerness to finally talk to all these women she observed all these years in silence. Noah nodded with a smile then slowly got up from her lap. He stood tall and straight, then sighed, and the paused world began to move once more. He took a step, turned his body to give a smirking flying kiss to Providence and a wink, before disappearing from the realm, appearing immediately inside the core of Laeh. He found his sister now grown up, slowly having the curves of a magnificent woman. Her hair was now silver with streaks of white, blue, golden, red, brown mixed inside. Her eyes were exactly the reflection of Laeh seen outside. A world in round shape, surrounded by lightning and frost. How beautiful his sister was, and that was exactly why... "I am forbidding you from going out, Laeh!" He said, making Laeh shriek in shock at his sudden words. "What?" She scowled, voice now more mature, "Why would you even do that? And why are your first words after my rank up these?" she said indignantly. Noah shrugged, then walked toward her and stood in front of her, patted her head. "Just listen to your big brother. He only wants to protect you from big bad guys outside. Trust." "No one will hurt me!" She protested. Yet Noah ignored her plea, and began the process immediately. "Hear me well, sister." He began, Laeh focusing while rolling her eyes, "I will sacrifice all of my current power of Providence to you. You also need to get out of my body temporarily." Her eyes widened in surprise. "It’s for my new power system. I will no longer evolve based on mana or Law comprehension. I will only evolve by taking the power of the worlds I will integrate in my Buntu." Until I have everything this universe has to offer, then reality, and then beyond. He took out the fused Origin of Fate, Destiny and Causality with enhanced powers given by Providence, then gave it to Laeh He also began to take out his divine core and his Law comprehension. Laeh was still stunned, but she focused immediately and began to do as her brother wanted. After agonizing minutes, Noah succeeded in giving all his power to Laeh then managed to get her out of his body. He instantly staggered back, feeling a weight of weakness he never thought he would feel once more. At that moment, any enemy could have killed him as easily as a man kills a chicken. That is, if he didn’t have his wives, children and even The Records ready to protect him. How lovely it was to have a family. He laughed, and watched how Laeh was slowly absorbing his power and those of the Origins inside him. Soon, she assimilated everything, causing inside her eyes another phenomenon. Now, there was a whirlwind of purple threads swirling all around her world-like eyes continuously. At that time, the world Laeh took one step ahead to be a Prime World, though the road was still far away. Once all that was done, Noah smirked weakly and, with Laeh’s help, he disappeared from the world and appeared outside, in the void. Laeh was protecting him, making him able to stand there without consequences. He closed his eyes, inhaled and exhaled, reflecting his power system inside his mind a couple of times before slowly opening his eyes. They flashed a brilliant hue. He raised his hand timelessly, then his two palms met each other at the center with an abnormally loud voice that rippled across the whole dark void. Instantly, the space behind him ripped apart, forming a cosmic maw of primordial energy so powerful the surrounding void was fleeing. Noah smiled faintly, sweat dripping. And the maw behind him — his Buntu — began to crystallize and form a colossal gate that seemed to encompass the whole universe into its bottomless depths. Noah was finally creating his own power system. —End of Chapter 401—
